Overview
- The 2.5% hike took effect at midnight on July 20 across all YPF stations in Argentina.
- This marks YPF’s second increase in the month after a 3.5% rise on July 1 driven by crude oil cost fluctuations.
- YPF president Horacio Marín attributed the adjustment to continuous tracking of key production variables, notably international crude prices.
- The newly inaugurated Real-Time Monitoring Center supports granular commercial decisions by analyzing station sales, time slots and regional data.
- Competitors such as Shell, Puma Energy and Axion are anticipated to follow YPF’s dynamic pricing moves, reinforcing its market leadership.
